Be it known that I, HENRY KASPAR, a

' citizen of the United States, residing /at Lynch,- in the county of Boyd and State of Nebraska, have invented a'new and useful Double-Pointed SafetyPin, .of which the following is a specification.

' more garments or parts of garments may be This invention relates to double p'ointe safety ins and has forits object to. provide a simp e, inexpensive and efficient device of this character having oppositely disposed piercing members or pins whereby twoor conveniently securedtogether.

a A further object of the invention is to pro-- vide a double pointed safety pin in which the garment piercing members or points are dis- .posed on opposite sides of the body portion and provide with suitable guards.

prove and simplify this class'of devices so as to add to their utility and durability as well as to reduce the cost of manufacture.

With these and'other objects in ,view the invention consists. in the. construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereafter fully described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, it being understood that various changes in form, proportions and (general assemblage of parts may be resorte pended claims.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure; 1' is a perspective view of a double safety pin constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2. is a spective view of the same with the terminal 0 ampmg members or guards detached. Fig.

' '3 is a planview of a modified form of the invent-ion.

Srnnlar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.

A still further object is to generally im-.

an over-hanging arm 12 the side edges of Whichare bent downwardly to produce a guard for the reception of the poirit of the adjacent pin while the'nietal orming the ing members or clips 11 each provided with opposite end of the clip is coiled or bent' around the opposite pin at :13 to assist in I preventing accidental displacement of said "clips. Attention is called to the factthatthe" springs 5 and 7 arecoiled in the reverse direction and disposed one on each side of the connecting web or bar 6S0 that said coils lie within-the loops formed by the pins8 and 9 andsaid connecting web or bar. It will also be observed that by'having the cylindrical portions 13 of the clamping members secured to the fixed ends of the pins they'serve to limit the lateral movementof inforce and strengthen the pins at the points subjected to the most Wear. Y

In Fi 3 of the drawings there is illustrateda modi ed form of the invention in which pins are connected by a web or plate 14 the opposite ends of which are cut away at 14 to produce the guards 15, the pins in this .case being formed of separate pieces of wire the ends of which are secured to the plate 14 by coiling the opposite side edges of'said plate in contact therewith as shown at 16.

Havin thus described'the invention what is claime is 1. A safety pin having diagonally disposed sprin coils terminating in oppositely dispose garment piercing members, clips. each consistlng of a metal plate having one end thereof bent around a portion of 'the pin near the adjacent coil and its free end extended laterally to form an over-hanging arm the oppositei edges of Which are bent downwardly to produce a guard adapted to receive the point of the ad acent piercing member.

2. A safety pin having diagonally disposed sprin coils terminating in oppositely dispose garment piercin members, clips each having one end thereo provided with means for attachment to a (portion of the pin near the adjacent coil an its free end extended laterally to form a guard adapted to receive the point of the adjacent piercing member.

3. A safety pin formed of a single piece of Wire bent to produce spring coils terminating in oppositely disposed garment piercin members, clips each consisting of a meta plate having one end thereof bent around one the free ends of said pins and also serve to re- 7 of the piercing ineinbers near the springi piercing members, and a clip secured to one end of each piercing" member and having its intermediate portion embracing the adjacent spring coil and extended to form a guard for the point of the opposite piercing member.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signa ture in the presence of two witnesses.
